Thursday Quiz:

This quiz contains review material on differentiation and integration. A computational facility with these notions from Math 124--125 is essential for future develoments in this class. In the first quiz question you will be asked to differentiate 2 functions. In the second question you will be asked to integrate two functions. The third and fourth questions will address material fron Sections 1 and 2 of the notes. You will be given 25 minutes to complete this first quiz.
